Genome-wide associations for milk production and somatic cell score in Holstein-Friesian cattle in Ireland [PDF]

, 2012
peer-reviewedBackground: Contemporary dairy breeding goals have broadened to include, along with milk production traits, a number of non-production-related traits in an effort to improve the overall functionality of the dairy cow.

Short communication: Repeatability of differential goat bulk milk culture and associations with somatic cell count, total bacterial count, and standard plate count [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2010
The aims of this study were to assess how different bacterial groups in bulk milk are related to bulk milk somatic cell count (SCC), bulk milk total bacterial count (TBC), and bulk milk standard plate count (SPC) and to measure the repeatability of bulk milk culturing.

Digital Holographic Microscopy in Veterinary Medicine—A Feasibility Study to Analyze Label-Free Leukocytes in Blood and Milk of Dairy Cows

Animals
For several years, the determination of a differential cell count of a raw milk sample has been proposed as a more accurate tool for monitoring the udder health of dairy cows compared with using the absolute somatic cell count.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

The rheology of gel formed during the California Mastitis Test [PDF]

, 2006
One of the most costly diseases in the dairy industry is mastitis, which is an inflammation of the mammary gland. Mastitis influences the quality of milk and therefore reduces financial returns to both the farmer and the processor.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Somatic Cell Count, Importance and Effect Factors in Dairy Cattle [PDF]

, 2014
The somatic cell count (SCC) is commonly used as a measure of udder health and milk quality. Thus, to determine the milk quality standards in many countries, it legally determined as an indicator of somatic cell count raw milk and determines the level of

Impact of slaughter on the reliability of somatic cell count (SCC) and differential milk cell count (DMCC) as diagnostic markers in milk

Journal of Dairy Research
Abstract This research paper addresses the hypothesis that the in vivo criterion of bovine somatic cell count (SCC) < 200,000 cells/ml milk as a diagnostic marker for healthy mammary tissue is not suitable to be adopted to milk samples taken post ...

Blood neutrophil extracellular traps: a novel target for the assessment of mammary health in transition dairy cows

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Mammary health is important for transition dairy cows and has been well recognized to exert decisive effects on animal welfare. However, the factors influencing mammary health are still unclear.
